poor quality for mushroom growing

I was thinking that the totes would be able to last several years for mushroom growing, but after winter they're falling apart very easily due to how brittle they are.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for reviewing the Sterilite 56 Qt Storage Box. Our storage boxes are meant for household use, and do not contain UV protection. With continued or prolonged exposure to the outside elements, the items may deteriorate over time.
I needed containers that were durable and clear to view items that I needed. I found these containers to meet my actual needed. Saves me time not to have to open each container to get the item or items I need. Thank you Sterlite for making my life so much easier.
This CB product doesn’t withstand a move or normal storage needs. The lids crack and sides too. After 3-4 months went to pick up tubs most of them fell apart they were used to move and had tubs stored in front bedroom as I pack them in after four months when I went back in there to move them most of them just cracked lids were broken and it was in a controlled claimant would never purchase them again for that purpose. These are not cheap to lose so many of them and have to repack everything will never purchase again was told to go to homeowners insurance to recoup loss data not stand behind the product so sad.

Thank you for reviewing the Sterilite 56 Qt Storage Box.
We regret the inconvenience experienced with the item, and appreciate your time in passing this feedback along.
I love to organize. My house is full of Sterlite products! I have approximately 30 of the 56 quart size containers because they are my favorite. They fit perfectly on shelves I purchased for my cellar storage area. I love the clear containers with the white lids. I store everything from linens, antique dishes, memorabilia, important paperwork, pictures, food (I have quite a supply of flour and sugar), bedding, craft supplies and more. I use a labeling machine to print labels to identify the contents.I don't have to worry about mildew or items getting wet because the bins keep my things safe. But, I don't stop at the 56 quart containers. The shoebox size containers are great for beads, utensils, camping supplies, maps, ribbon, etc. The drawers are great for plastic lids in the kitchen & the numerous cords I have. Although I have numerous Sterlite containers/drawers, I always need more. :)
I purchased several 56 Qt storage containers for which I primarily use to store clothing. I move quite a bit, so they are better than moving boxes and the various color lids help to easily identify which container I need. My disappointment is that the lids are not as sturdy as the containers themselves, they lose their shape and they crack easily. Not only that, but replacement lids are unavailable. After not being able to find them in the stores, I checked the website with no success. I don't like the fact that you have to buy a whole new container just to get a new lid. Surely there has to be a better solution to getting replacement lids or better yet making a better quality like Hefty or Rubbermaid. I like the storage containers, but I don't like that replacement lids are not available.

Thank you for reviewing the Sterilite 56 Qt Storage Box.
We regret the inconvenience experienced with the lids. Unfortunately, Sterilite does not manufacture extra lid. We plan our production one bottom, to one lid. We appreciate you took the time to pass this feedback to us,
I love the clear storage container for storing my daughter's clothing she has outgrown. I am able to see what I have put in it without having to label it or open it up.
The lids on these get very brittle and crack into many pieces. The company does not make replacement lids. Although I like that they are clear, I will never buy another.

Thank you for reviewing the Sterilite 56 Qt Storage Box.
We would like to look into this further. Please reach out to us at marketing@sterilite.com for further assistance.
These big clear Sterilite bins are absolutely wonderful. I am a fiber artist with a continually increasing collection of both fabrics & yarns for community sewing/quilting & knitting. With these bins I can see -- without having to unpack, or even open -- what I have stashed inside. Simple, too, to add labels and see them thru the end of the bin. I couldn't be happier with the Sterilite products and their service! Thank you & continue on... pj stitches!
